  • Publication number: 20200275199
    Abstract: A microphone array includes one or more front-facing microphones disposed on a front surface of the collaboration endpoint and a plurality of secondary microphones disposed on a second surface of the collaboration endpoint. The sound signals received at each of the one or more front-facing microphones and the plurality of secondary microphones are converted into microphone signals. When the sound signals have a frequency below a threshold frequency, an output signal is generated from microphone signals generated by the one or more front-facing microphones and the plurality of secondary microphones. When the sound signals have a frequency at or above a threshold frequency, an output signal is generated from microphone signals generated by only the one or more front-facing microphones.

  • Patent number: 10091575
    Abstract: A method and system for obtaining an audio signal. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a first sound signal at a first microphone arranged at a first height vertically above a substantially flat surface; receiving a second sound signal at a second microphone arranged at a second height vertically above the substantially flat surface; processing a signal provided by the first microphone using a low pass filter; processing a signal provided by the second microphone using a high pass filter; adding the signals processed by the low pass filter and the high pass filter to form a sum signal; and outputting the sum signal as an audio signal.
